Reviews

Seeking Truth not only adds significantly to our understanding of Roger North's mindset and work, but it offers a unique perspective on the manner in which an intelligent provincial intellectual, who prided himself on being a discerning critic, attempted to come to terms with the content of Newtonian natural philosophy as well as with its perceived ramifications for theology and moral philosophy. Mordechai Feingold, California Institute of Technology, USA
